I have integrated myself in 3 Jewish communities: Mexico, Greece and the UK. Remarkably 90% of the Jews are the type that beleive that peace with the Muslim/Nazis is possible.
A few weeks back I was invited to a Shabbat Dinner. People sitting next to me were talking about how they could bring our local Muslim & Jewish communities closer together. It turns out one of the Reform Rabbis would visit one of the mosques every now and again to "help tighten bonds" with the Muslims. I almost ran to the bathroom feeling sick when I heard that. When they asked me for ideas I told them my views on Islam and they looked at me quite shocked :o
My question is why is it that Jews living outside of Israel are so naive ? Why aren't there more people like the ones on this forum? Why have these open minded/tolerant Jews not learned from history?

Why have these open minded/tolerant Jews not learned from history?
Because they haven't LIVED HISTORY. To them, arabs are something they read about in an appreciation of the middle east anthropology class taught by a neo-communist liberal extremist "professor".
They need some first hand experience. Like the saying goes, "A Liberal is simply a Conservative that hasn't been mugged yet."

In Israel, what percentage is left, and right?
Ofcourse, just some estimates?

Or being touched by it.
Anyone that has, knows the importance of making sure it never repeats itself.

Most Jews still have the Ghetto mentality, and feel like they must be kicked around and oppressed. It is a sad thing indeed, but very little can be done, for most liberals have no time for G-d.

Apparently this is not just a problem in the Galut. There are plenty of kooky leftists in Israel. There are Israeli professors that freely teach in the universities that Israel has no right to exist. And during the last Israel/Hezbollah war, leftists were out protesting that Israel wasn't negotiating with the hezbos for the release of their soldiers.

I am all for negotiating ....but when it comes to negotiating with Hamas/PLO/Hisbollocks/AlQueerida/Iran/Nazis etc we should let the bombs and bullets do the talking.
There is a wise quote somewhere " You don't negotiate with a terrorist - you kill a terrorist"

Yes, I think you're right.

That is really depressing.
